Finding God's Voice in Our Distress

And if he's not done with you, you know what that means? It means he's not hiding from you as well. No hide and seek. I played that with my kids and with my grandkids when they were little. And it's fun. It's pleasurable.But your life, my life, our lives are not a game to God. It's serious. It's important.So when you feel like maybe he's hiding from you, quite contrary, you know what he's really doing? He's waiting for you. [00:05:33] (28 seconds)  #PrayThroughSeasons

Sometimes we'd hear a cry in the middle of the night.I'd say, Cindy, did you hear that? Which child is that? That's Heather. That's Heidi. That's Kelly. That's Laura. She wouldn't know. Why? Because a mother recognizes the voice of her child. The child she carried nine months in her womb. The child that she gave birth to. The child that they were one for that gestation.If a mother knows the voice of their child, how much more our Heavenly Father? He knows your voice. [00:12:00] (40 seconds)  #ReturnIsNear

there is a place with god god and god wants to bring his church and i do with all of my heart no the return of jesus is so close i'm not setting a date so don't list me as a heretic but i believe it's so close especially with my studies with scripture it's close with what i've seen happening with the changing of truth to lie and lie to truth with the hatred the lines are being drawn one after the other the divisions are there the divide is there [00:14:26] (37 seconds)  #SpiritBattleCry

David was intentional here. And not that we're not intentional when it's difficult, when it's hard. But in the end,the midst of all of it, just like as he would lead troops.He was a great general, the greatest king ever over the nation of Israel, even to this day.And he was known for keeping his cool in the heat of [00:18:09] (21 seconds)  #ReleaseYourBattleCry

when you look at this, this cry, you know what it really was from David? It was a spirit cry, like the title of my message.But another definition we're going to see in a moment is that it was a battle cry. That's why the subtitle of this message is the battle sound of heaven.A spirit cry is warfare prayer. Are you hearing me? It was a battle cry.It was like the sounding of an alarm.

So when you see that from the prophet of God what God is really saying to his people is and he's saying it to us today. It's time to release your battle cry, your spirit cry. It's time to rise up and face your enemy down. What is your enemy today? What is it that's trying to steal, kill, and destroy from you?Instead of running from it, instead of getting angry with God and refusing to don't want to deal with it any longer, instead of just not showing up to church anymore because I'm tired of hearing all these messages, doesn't work anyhow. No wonder you're in a rut right now.Rather than run from the battleground, be committed to it. [00:21:51] (42 seconds)  #YourVoiceMattersToGod

listen the spirit cry god responds to do you know what it is his word he responds to his word not emotion he responds to his word sometimes people say i cried and i cried and i cried before the lord our tears are important to god but do you know what tears do you know how they're driven through the soul the greek word for soul is psuche it's your mind willpower intellect and personality right the mind meeting the emotion intellect willpower personality the emotions are part of the mind which means they're part of the soul so our soul can be moved when our spirit is not being moved we are body soul and spirit [00:37:48] (57 seconds)  #AnswersBeyondHumanWisdom
